Computer Thinking...

Everytime I play chess against the computer, I perform the moves that gets the computer thinking and stalls, this occurs when defeat is inevitable. Consequently, this has affected my web browser and may need to be fixed. Is there an alternative?

Ditto. Thrice I was playing a game and it got to a point where it needed to think and then it was basically game over.

i need to have the PGN details of the game you were playing. see the "Show PGN" button? click on that and then paste it in here. also, tell me what computer OS and browser you are using. 

or better yet, if you are a computer nerd, also include the Java Console output! :)

we're unable to reproduce. 

thanks!

I use a HP Compaq 8510p laptop, and Firefox browser..

I'm not a computer nerd, so that's all i got! I'm a great learner, though.

Thankyou for your time

I've had the same issue. I have a Mac, but have had the same problems on PC.  Also have tried Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.  Same issue on all browsers.  I think it may be a glitch with the Chess engine.
